  • 汶川大地震成因探寻【转】

    2008-05-17 22:19:09

    前,中国正全力进行汶川地震救援活动,而科学家也开始给这场破坏性如此巨大、影响地区如此广泛的地震寻找成因。

    周一中国西南省份四川发生的里氏7.9级地震目前已造成近15,000人死亡,在震中附近地区,一个个的村庄整个被毁。

    科学家们称,目前来看,是很多因素的综合作用导致了这次破坏性巨大的地震。

    四川省位于印度板块和欧亚板块这两个大陆板块的交界处附近,特别容易发生地震。五千万年前,印度板块在与欧亚板块碰撞之前是个岛屿;目前印度板块在以每年两英寸的速度向北推移──对板块漂移来说,这是个不慢的速度。

    这种快速运动意味着在大陆板块的边缘部位积聚了较大的能量,进而引发能量的剧烈释放,也就是地震。据美国地质调查局(U.S. Geological Survey)称,如此强度的地震每50到100年会发生一次。

    不仅如此,日本筑波大学(Tsukuba University)研究员Yuji Yagi牵头的一个地震研究小组表示,汶川地震可能是沿着断层线分两个不同阶段爆发的,这种情况非常罕见。可能因此而导致地震强度增大、时间延长。

    该研究小组称,第一阶段是沿着龙门山断层线的运动,造成23英尺宽的地壳断裂,约为时50秒。随后不久,沿着该断层线的另外一个部分很可能发生了持续60秒的小滑移。

    Yagi说,这就意味着这个地区经历了为时两分钟的强烈地震。与此相比,造成6,000多人死亡的1995年日本神户发生的强烈地震只有20秒,能量也不足汶川地震的1/30。

    其他科学家还指出,汶川地震震源离地表较近,只有6英里。震源浅的地震造成的破坏性更大,因为能量的释放距离地面更近,引发的震动更剧烈。

    不 仅如此,由于中国所在大陆板块年代已久,很多地区地壳都很脆,且构造相似。东京大学(Tokyo University)地震研究所的Teruyuki Kato说,这样,地震形成的冲击波能传播数百英里,而能量却没有明显衰减,就像光波在光纤里传播一样。离震中约1,000英里远的上海都有震感。

    与此同时,在距离震中较近的地区,由于长江在四川盆地形成了厚厚的沉积层,地质结构不稳定,震动更为严重。研究者表示,不牢固的地层使地震的破坏力增大;而且土壤肥沃的四川盆地人口密集,增大了人员伤亡的数量。

    当然,有些问题还未找到答案。科学家们表示,该地区的地震研究也因为频繁的塌方而受阻,塌方掩埋了很多地质构造证据,比如地表的裂纹或暴露的山脊。

    Kato说,我们需要进行更多的研究来找到确切成因。不过很清楚的一点是,我们正在研究的是个地震相当活跃的地区。

  • 12 个月的英语名称的来历[转]

    2008-02-26 16:49:26

        公历一年有12个月,但不少人并不知道12 个月的英语名称的来历。公历起源于古罗马历法。罗马的英语原来只有10 个月,古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾,后来朱里斯*撒大帝把这两个月移到年初,成为1月.2月,原来的1月.2月便成了3月.4
    月,依次类推。这就是今天世界沿用的公历。

      January——1月

      在罗马传说中,有一位名叫雅努斯的守护神,生有先后两副脸,一副回顾过去,一副要眺望未来。人们认为选择他的名字作为除旧迎新的第一个月月名,很有意义。英语

      January,便是由这位守护神的拉丁文名字January演变而来的。

      February——2月

      每年2 月初,罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒,欢庆菲勃卢姆节。这一天,人们常用一种牛、草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子,抽打不育的妇女,以求怀孕生子。这一天,人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪过,洗刷自己的灵魂,求得神明的饶恕,使自己成为一个贞洁的人。英语2月February,便是由拉丁文Februar-ius(即菲勃卢姆节)演变而来。

      March-----3月

      3月,原是罗马旧历法的1 月,新年的开始。凯撒大帝改革历法后,原来的1月变成3月,但罗马人仍然把3 月看做是一年的开始。另外,按照传统习惯,3月是每年出征远战的季节。为了纪念战神玛尔斯,人们便把这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。英语3月March,便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。

      April——4月

      罗马的4月,正是大地回春.鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文4月April便由拉丁文April(即开花的日子)演变而来。

      May——5月

      罗马神话中的女神玛雅,专门司管春天和生命。为了纪念这位女神,罗马人便用她的名字——拉丁文Maius命名5月,英文5月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。

      June——6月

      罗马神话中的裘诺,是众神之王,又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。古罗马对她十分崇
    敬,便把6月奉献给她,以她的名字——拉丁文Junius来命名6 月。英语6月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。也有学者认为,Junius可能是个代拉丁家族中一个显赫贵族的姓氏。

      July——7月

      罗马统治者朱里斯*凯撒大帝被刺死后,著名的罗马将军马克*按东尼建议将凯撒大帝诞生的7月,用凯撒的名字——拉丁文Julius(即朱里斯)命名之。这一建议得到了元老院的通过。英语7月July由此演变而来。

      August——8月

      朱里斯*凯撒死后,由他的甥孙屋大维续任罗马皇帝。为了和凯撒齐名,他也想用自己的名字来命名一个月份。他的生日在9月,但他选定8月。因为他登基后,罗马元老院在8 月授予他Augustus(奥古斯都)的尊号。于是,他决定用这个尊号来命名8月。原来8月比7月少一天,为了和凯撒平起平坐,他又决定从2月中抽出一天加在8月
    上。从此,2月便少了一天。英语8月August便由这位皇帝的拉丁语尊号演变而来。

      September——9月

      老历法的7月,正是凯撒大帝改革历法后的9月,拉丁文Septem是“7”月的意思。虽然历法改革了,但人们仍袭用旧名称来称呼9月。英语9月September,便由此演变而来。

      October——10月

      英语10月,来自拉丁文Octo,即“8”的意思。它和上面讲的9月一样,历法改了,称呼仍然沿用未变。

      November——11月

      罗马皇帝奥古斯都和凯撒都有了自己名字命名的月份,罗马市民和元老院要求当时的罗马皇帝梯比里乌斯用其名命名11月。但梯比里乌斯没有同意,他明智地对大家说,如果罗马每个皇帝都用自己的名字来命名月份,那么出现了第13个皇帝怎么办?于是,11月仍然保留着旧称Novem,即拉丁文“9”的意思。英语11月November便由此演变而来。

      December——12月

    罗马皇帝琉西乌斯要把一年中最后一个月用他情妇的Amagonius的名字来命名,但遭但元老院的反对。于是,12月仍然沿用旧名Decem,即拉丁文“10”的意思。英语12月December,便由此演变而来
